Re: [piecepack] Re: Piecepack Games on BGG

OK, I was able to save the page by changing the copyright symbol at
the top of the page to the word "Copyright".

It was possible to eliminate huge reams of Chinese spam by only
accepting plain vanilla ASCII characters on the wikis at Ludism.org,
which are good enough for most English text. Unfortunately, the
copyright symbol is not an ordinary ASCII character.

In future, you can see what the page is choking on by reading the
error message it gives you. The error message you quoted did indeed
return the copyright character.

You should be able to go back and edit Magistratvm and Brain Burn now.
Please don't hesitate to ask for help in future.
